Step in block work at front wall - can’t remember why . Pack out with pir ; then our upstand in place . Just demo at the moment until someone says it’s wrong . If ok will foam in

Floor to top of timber frame is 23cm My floor has to be 50mm higher than planned . So I assume 150mm pir allows plenty ( 60mm ish ) for ufh and screed .

UFH company says for upstairs "We recommend a heavy duty 500G (polythene gauge) / 125m u (micron thickness) polythene membrane for the vapour barrier, green/clear so that you can see any markings made below." I'm guessing by "marking below" he means any markings I place on the PIR to show (for example) where I don't want pipework.

Ok - this is where I’m getting confused is dpm , membrane , vcl the same thing by different names in this context ??

We will be having tiles . My doorways are part on the blockwork that the timber frame sits on . So not entirely sure what you mean . Will take a photo tomorrow

Ok. I'm on beam and block ( upper floor!) So! DPM around room taped up the sides. PIR on that taped + PIR up stands DPM over that taped up the sides yeah? What about the holes for return and flow fo UFH?. Mine are coming up through the block floor. I don't think expanding foam likes plastic pipework. So what do I fill that with?; also assume just tape around the holes to DPM

A question ! As I had to raise my outside ‘floor’ by 50mm so my internal floor will raise . Currently doorway openings are lower . Do I need to raise them ? I.e can I let the screed ‘run’ from one room to the other - or should each room be screeded individually - so screed doesn’t run across doorway

Why dpm under pir ? i was just going to do pir , pir upstands and dpm over that

Can’t remember the stepoc size but I think it was one less than the largest . Stone is sat on a separate footing . We had a gap between the stepoc and the lane so just did a concrete pour in the gap . Not very wide - maybe 40cm . i stuck a land drain around the base outside the stepoc . Covered it in chippings to aid drainage . We had very little gap between dug hole and external insulation. Our dig out was all rock so couldn’t use to backfill

Sigh yes . i guess I shouldn’t worry as I know where the issue is .

Annoyingly looks worse today !! ?

One of ( our many ) grandsons is blind . The excitement for him in using a toilet and hear it cut the Poo ? up is hard to quantify !! - it’s off the scale !! So I must keep my promise and let him have a macerator - until I go spare when he busts it with super sh*t !!!

Z wave seems solid and good - so I trust it . Yes ; tons of nerdy home automation. i guess what I was really asking is there a certain type of manifold I should look at ? . Exactly what z wave components should I look at to activate the manifold ; just a simple relay type affair ???

Hey all So my ufh has been spec’d . For the moment we are having wireless thermostats . My question is how do these control the ufh manifold valves ? Ideally I want to control the valves via z wave . So any advice on what type of setup I need for this would be great . cheers

Though local to me they might deliver nationwide https://www.fgflimited.co.uk/

As expected ! Amazon says delivery by 20:00 At 20:01 without me doing a thing a refund is issued .

Please !!!!

That looks exactly like Nick !

I thought the pir upstand did that aswell ?

£815 on screwy fix . Also when done I’d Sell it on ( to you perhaps ! ) . Very kind to offer your goods but I “might be sometime “ with the gear ( read that as years ) . I’ll send you a deposit in a test tube ?

He said an upstand . Didn’t spec it ; but when I said 25mm pir he didn’t quibble

Gods tile cutter Nick ! Dewalt d24000 ! ?

Oh ? So nothing special ? Any old DPM ? - what do I tape it with ?

Not really . Amazon . The others they had have “ disappeared “. Gut instinct tells me it won’t turn up . Not worried about the money as Amazon will refunded - was such a ‘ too good’ price .
